Description-

'Berries & Cream' is just as delectable as it sounds! Its leaves have a fruity scent and taste, making it a wonderful garnish for summer drinks, fruit dishes, and some meat dishes. It has dark green leaves and mauve summer-to-fall flowers that grow in tight clusters, adorning the garden with more than just its sweet scent. This is a more compact mint than other varieties, so you'll have plenty of space to fit this tasty treat. Begin harvesting as soon as shoots appear in spring by cutting sprigs or leaves with scissors. Young, tender leaves are more flavorful than old, woody ones. It freezes and dries well.
